Took a few days off and went up to West Okoboji with my fiancé and her grandparents and yesterday I hired Ice Force Pro, John Grosvenor to take us on a guided trip just to make sure her grandpa caught fish. We had a great day and caught a ton of fish! Her grandpa never saw a flasher before and once John showed him how to use his LX7 he was catching fish in no time! We ended up catching well over 150 perch and kept out limits to eat. I’ve never fished out of the state of Iowa and I do know there’s bigger perch to be caught but here in the Iowa Great Lakes area 12″ perch are considered pretty big so I was happy catching that! Such a great day for both of us on the ice and can’t wait to go again! Well, as soon as my fiancé wakes up! Lol

January 20, 2015 at 12:32 pm #1500008Nice work Steve, and great meeting the both of you at the ice show this year! Way to say on them. I’ve been seeing pics from John all year down there, must have a great year class or two coming through the system. Fun to catch perch when they’re fired up like that. Congrats!

John is a great guide and guy! He’s always on fish and is well worth the money! Check out my other post and look at the Perch Alyssa caught on Tuesday!
